The era of electric vehicles is moving fast and MG Motor has made a splash in the market with its latest electric hatchback MG 4 EV. This car is not only stylish and full of technology, but it is also responsible towards the environment. Launched in China as MG Mulan, this car is now making its mark in markets like Europe and India.
Design
Talking about the design, the design of MG 4 EV is sporty and dynamic, which gives it a distinct identity on the road. Its LED headlights and taillights are not only attractive to look at, but they also improve energy efficiency. The aerodynamic shape of the car reduces air resistance, which increases the range of the battery. If you are looking for a stylish and modern electric car, then MG 4 EV can be the perfect option for you.
Interior
MG 4 EV is as great from inside as it is from outside. It has a 10.25-inch color touchscreen, which is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. This means that you can easily connect your smartphone to the car’s infotainment system. The seats are comfortable and there is enough space in the cabin, so you will not feel tired even during long drives. The layout of the dashboard is minimalistic and user-friendly, which makes the driving experience even better.
Battery and Range
Talking about the battery, the MG 4 EV is available with two battery options – 51kWh (standard range) and 64kWh (long range). According to the WLTP test, this car can run up to 450km on a single charge. However, in the real world, the range depends on factors such as weather, driving style and AC usage. The battery performance may be slightly reduced in cold weather, but in normal temperatures you can expect better performance from it.
Charging
Charging this car is very easy. If you use a 7kW home charger, the 64kWh battery takes about 9 hours to charge from 0-100%. On the other hand, if you use a 150kW DC fast charger, the battery will be charged from 10-80% in just 35 minutes. This feature is especially useful during long journeys where you need to charge quickly.
Performance
The MG 4 EV is based on rear-wheel drive (RWD), which gives it a balanced and fun driving experience. However, its XPOWER trim comes with an all-wheel drive (AWD) system, which makes it even more powerful. Apart from this, the electric motor provides instant torque, making acceleration very smooth and fast.
Safety
Talking about safety, the MG 4 EV is equipped with the MG Pilot system, which includes many advanced safety features. It has features like adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, traffic jam assist and auto emergency braking. Apart from this, strong build quality and multiple airbags further enhance the safety of the driver and passengers.
Price and availability
Talking about the price, the price of MG 4 EV in India is expected to start from ₹ 30 lakh (ex-showroom). At the same time, its base model is available in Australia at a price of $ 37,990 driveaway. Its launch in India is awaited and it can give tough competition to cars like Tata Nexon EV and Hyundai Kona Electric.
